Ann.without.an.e Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I buy many apps but then don't actually use them because in the end they are cool sounding but don't actually help enough for the effort involved. Which apps do you have that you actually use often? For me... Ibotta Starbucks :wub: My Fitness Pal Body Space Amazon Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Calculator, calendar, instagram and internet search feature. I don't really use any thing else. Although the app game Neko atsume looks like it's a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) My calendar apps (I have a few, they each display something different) Out of Milk (grocery shopping list maker) Overdrive/Hoopla/OneClickDigital/Audible (I listen to a lot of audiobooks!) Starbucks Flashlight Amazon Music Alarm Clock Extreme Free (for alarm and timers) Yahoo Mail TickTick (to-do list/reminder app) The only paid apps I've found truly useful are my calendar apps, TickTick, and Out of Milk. The main apps were free, but to get the advanced functionality I needed, I had to pay. It's been worth it. I've definitely paid for a few duds though!

JanetC Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Paprika - on my ipad I plan meals and download recipes. Then the shopping list syncs to my iphone to take with me to the store. Cozi - family calendar Goodreader - PDF manager/reader Pocket - Save web pages to read offline Dropbox - How I move stuff between computer and ipad, and share files with kids. Integrates seamlessly with Word for iPad if I actually need to edit a document away from the computer. OneNote - Lots of homeschool planning in there Notability - My current fave note taking app ScannerPro - My current fave scanner app Voice Dream - My younger DD uses this text to speech program constantly OneBusAway - To see when I need to pick up older DD at the transit center WSDOT - State dept of transportation app, good to see freeway delays Explain Everything - Makes instructional videos. I'm not using this as heavily as I used to just because I'm not teaching anything where I need it, but if you are creating videos for a co-op class or something, I highly recommend it. Camera+ - My current fave camera app MyScript Calculator - For quick calcuations A scientific calculator (not sure which one it is) - For longer calculations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
